Bargain Moth's

[willasm]

Well just finished off my current game today.

Really forgot how addictive this game is! Probably been a few years since the last time I played. My only question is, has anyone here actually gotten Bargain Moth's to produce any thing other than Silver Y's? Downtown Moth's was no problem. I managed to get them to produce all the moth's, but no luck with Bargain Moth's.

By the way I have UIM06 installed. If Bargain Moth's will not produce any thing with this patch please let me know, so I don't waste any more time on this. (Although it is fun trying!).

They will not buy any cells other than #1, even tried to sell the fusion cell. They will not buy any engines either. One thing I did find is they will buy 10 food (Max of ten which they never seemed to use). I was going to take the time to try selling them one of every game item, but was getting bored. Also I really just wanted to see the game ending again!

Any how, I am off to start another game. Still things I want to try yet! Any suggestions for getting Bargain Moth's to produce would great!

Thank's everyone!

I am by far not an expert. But, I am pretty sure bargain moths only produce silver-y's.

With that said, I do seem to recall some discussion on an older board about getting them to make swallows. But that may only have been pre uim/beta patches. Either that or I hallucinated the whole conversation.

I have noticed that it does have a frame for a moon moth in its stock, but still no luck getting it to produce anything other than Silver Y's? Will keep trying I guess...

in the F versions of the game you could get them to produce exotic moths, but it was later patched out for online reasons.

essentially they would fill up with expensive moths and not have any silver-y's.

Bargain Moth's was set up as a safety net of sorts to save players who had their moth repossessed, shot down, or otherwise left broke with no moth. They could always take a free taxi to get a small loan and use it to get a ride to bargain moth's, and buy a silver-y there cheaply.

So filling up with expensive moths really didn't help anyone stuck in a bind much...

But me personally, I usually go down there and buy my first thug or 2 a silver-y moth from them. It's crazy cheap and an extra laser matters in hardwar...

I've never gotten Bargain Moths to produce anything except Siver-Ys and they only seem to produce them one at a time. There is another public Moth manufacturer, though. Highrise Motors in Highrise. They will produce the full range of Moths.

Great info guy's, thank you very much! Guess I can give up trying now and get back to my current game! Must have bought 25 or 30 silver Y's in my last game trying, oh well, live and learn. Now to try getting some pirate hangar's. Never tried that before. Very addictive game!

I had my thugs taken the silver-ys one at a time then taxing them back and forth took forever but didn't cost me anything except time, and it also made a huge catch of Silver-Ys. If they could fit the largest engine they would be the best combat moth.
